Storage Wars Texas Season 1
Tunesha Brown
The premise was essentially the same as the parent show: when rent is not paid on a storage locker in Texas,[2] the contents are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items. The show follows professional buyers who bid on the contents (usually for the purpose of reselling for profit should they purchase a locker) based only on a five-minute inspection and what they can see only from the door when it is opened. The episodes feature the winning buyers inspecting the contents (providing their estimate of their value), with one specific (and often unusual) item from each buyer featured being appraised to determine its worth. Between and during seasons, some buyers did not return to the show or appeared only occasionally in later seasons. One buyer, Mary Padian, became a regular bidder on the parent Storage Wars.
Storage Wars: Texas is a spinoff of Storage Wars that follows five professional buyers, Bubba and Ricky Smith, Morris "Moe" Prigoff, Victor Rjesnjansky, and Lesa Lewis and her assistant Jerry Simpson, in Texas as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. A sixth buyer, retired NFL player Roy Williams, is added for several episodes in season 2. Season 3 adds two new buyers: artist and business owner Jenny Grumbles, and Moe's artist friend Mary Padian (who partners with Moe or Jenny when she's not buying solo), though Lesa and Jerry are no longer regulars.
Storage Wars: Texas (Originally Storage Wars Dallas) is a reality television series on the A&E Network that premiered in 2011. It is a regionalized spin-off of the highly-popular series Storage Wars. The show features auctioneer Walt Cade, as well as auction hunters Ricky and Bubba Smith, Money "Moe" Prigoff, Victor Rjesnjansky, Lesa Lewis and her assistant Jerry Simpson, and Roy Williams, with new bidders Jenny Grumbles and Mary Padian starting in the second season. The premise is essentially the same as the parent show: when rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in Texas, the contents are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items. The show follows professional buyers who bid on the contents (usually for the purpose of reselling for profit should they purchase a locker) based only on a five-minute inspection and what they can see only from the door when it is opened.
Money "Moe" Prigoff - "The Doc" (Season 1-present): A septuagenarian practicing podiatrist who also owns an antique boutique called "River Regency Modern". Prigoff is known for his flamboyant wardrobe and purchases lockers looking for antiques and objets d'art to stock his gallery. He has accumulated his net worth through years in the world of storage auctions. In a second season episode, it was revealed that he keeps items from his lockers not deemed to be valuable piled up in his back yard, upsetting his wife.
Jenny Grumbles - "The Dazzler" (Season 2-present): A furniture restorer/designer, she runs the Dallas-based Uptown Country Homes furniture boutique. She became interested in storage auctions after a friend brought in some furniture for $1,000 and sold it for $5,000. She joined the cast beginning with the season premiere of the second season.
Roy Williams - "The Player" (Season 1): Roy was formerly a defensive back in the NFL, having been a 2002 1st round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys. Roy played there for 7 years and ended his 9 year career spending 2 years with the Cincinnati Bengals. Roy made his first appearance in episode 10 of Season 1 ("If I Were a Tibettin' Man"), although not as a storage buyer. It was due to Ricky and Bubba finding some Oklahoma Sooners mini-helmets that were autographed by Roy. They then invited Roy to come to a storage auction to see what it was like. When he did, Roy was hooked, and then cast in episode 11 ("Dallas Cowboys And Indians"). He did not return for the second season.
